Spring BREAK (no parental advisory warning needed here)

it's Monday night... and we now we only have 4 days left of work until "Spring Vacation." I truly enjoy working for a school district just for the vacations alone. (Only 47 school days until Summer Vacation, I'll have you know. Who's counting?)

Andy's racked up enough PTO (paid time off) to take off over 4 weeks. I managed to talk him into using one of the four to take a Spring Break with me. A couple of months ago, the plan for Spring Break would have included a trip to Monterey, maybe even a camping trip or two.


But now, with our new home in the making, we will be using our "time off" to de-junk-tify our lives. Eight fun filled days of going through closets, boxes and shelves full of "I might need this someday" stuff. I've actually been in such a "spring fling" state of mind lately, I have the nerve to just dump everything in to black bags and walk it down to the dumpster. However, I will refrain only because we'll be concluding our "vacation" with a celebratory "Garage Sale" on Saturday. We're looking forward to this monumentous event to help fund our own new garage opener. OOOOh... aaahhhh!... I know cool, huh? I never thought I'd be so in love with the idea of purchasing a garage door opener!

Well... that's the latest news for us...exciting, I know. We're making our daily "drive-by" trips to the "lot" for our new home. It's amazing, something changes every time we go (yes, it's going to be the longest 4 months ever!) Today, they were putting in the stakes to support the forms for the foundation. We should have a foundation done by the day of our garage sale. Wow.
